You know it’s summer when the hemlines get shorter, and bright colours are back in season. Check out our list of summer trends to watch out for.
The Little White Dress
Laura Whitmore
The little white dress is summer’s version of the LBD. Keep the look classy by pairing your white dress with metallic sandals, drop earrings, and a printed day clutch. For a more sophisticated look, take a leaf out of Laura Whitmore’s style book. The MTV Europe presenter wore a crisp Alice McCall mini dress, with a flouncy peplum and short hemline – the perfect dress to take you from day to night.
Stripes
Vivienne Westwood Red Label S/S 2013
Everyone knows that vertical stripes can make you look slimmer, but how do you wear this trend without looking like a jailbird? Always one to think outside of the box, Vivienne Westwood uses variegated stripes in contrasting hues in her latest S/S 2013 Red Label collection, with a hint of polka dots to keep the look fun. The playful mix of prints and graphics demonstrate Westwood’s signature knack for contrasting playful fabrics with ladylike silhouettes.
Yellow
JC de Castelbajac S/S 2013
50 Shade of Gray may have been last summer’s hottest read, but this summer’s hottest trend seems to be fifty shades of, well, yellow. Whether it is citrus bags or mustard ballet flats, yellow seems to be everywhere (and in every shade). For his S/S 2013 show, JC de Castelbajac contrasted grayscale graphics with bright yellow (as seen in the maxi dress above). No stranger to clashing colors, the French designer effortlessly uses color to make his clothes stand out from the crowd. Trust us, you will turn heads when you wear JC de Castelbajac.
Metallics
Tinsley Mortimer x Samantha Thavasa
This season, New York socialite Tinsley Mortimer brings her Midas touch to the signature ruched clutch from her Samantha Thavasa collaboration line. Although we don’t carry her line in our Samantha Thavasa stores in Singapore, we still love how her clutch is so versatile and classic. Whether you’re going for a ladylike or rocker chic look, this metallic clutch will spruce up any outfit in an instant.
